the valley for long distance. those who
were unable to escape could be seen in

crawled to a house where l got some
clothing. Out of twenty-five in my car,
personally know that nine at least were
saved. l saw two of those in my car in
the flames. remember Montreal trap

He was accompanied by lady. He was
saved but his companion was lost.
